About Us
Grants Works is your grant consulting partner. Our mission is to help organizations, educational institutions and businesses successfully find, obtain, manage, and comply with federal and other government grants that positively impact people and communities. Our services help organizations strengthen their capacity to compete for grants, secure funding for programs, services, and innovation, and integrate systems-based grant management processes into their operations.
Our team has expertise in each area of the grant lifecycle and has managed grants from the perspectives of the recipient, subrecipient, pass-through entity, and a federal agency. In 2021, we launched Grants Works Academy, an online source of “recipient-centered,” on demand training about becoming grant ready, finding, managing and complying with federal grants. Training can be accessed by course or by joining the Federal Grants Simplified Membership.
